[7.0] "As a young'n I was perplexed but enjoyed what I saw. As an adult I'm feeling it on a different level. It sure is one hell of a wild gimmick. In WCCW Bill Mercer played along with it and at times called him a "prehistoric apparition". Bill Watts f#cked it all kinds of up in Mid South though and I don't like where he went with the commentary. His work was interesting, unique use of headbutts as an offense. Headbutts to the kidneys from every possible direction and height was his specialty. His physique was ridiculous, he had to have been on heaps of steroids and eating only the right foods while working out 3 hours a day cuz, sheesh. His look overall was just tremendously outrageous. Fun "meant to go nowhere in the midcard" stuff regardless of his heel or face affiliation... better as a character babyface! He really put his everything and more into the character and it ages well due to the commitment. 7.25 rounded down."

[5.0] "An all time bad gimmick, up there with Bray Wyatt. Not helped in Mid South by Bill Watts trying to explain him "Max! I feel like I know him somehow! ". Actually perfectly fine in the ring for the mid card heel standards of the time which bumps my rating up."

[8.0] "I thought he was great. I am surprised with the low ratings. He was excellent in Toronto for Maple Leaf Wrestling int he 70s and early 80's. Watch him in that era. The Missing Link was great and was one of the pioneers for wacky gimmicks in wresting. He was weird and wacky and great at scaring fans. He went crazy in that ring. His wrestling moves were great."

[6.0] "I thought he was a decent character and had better runs in WCCW then the WWF. He wrestled forever all over the place, and was usually pretty entertaining"

[7.0] "The Missing Link was an excellent character for his time and I cannot help but think he inspired many wrestlers from the 90s and 00s in the big leagues. That alone gets his 7. 0 rating from me. His in-ring ability was below par but did get a run in the WWF so he couldn't have been that bad."

[6.0] "He was a memorable character, who had a very lengthy career. One things for sure, he was one of a kind."

[5.0] "He had a good look, an unusual gimmick but just didn't had what it took to become on of the greats."
